Get A Chipotle Burrito For A Fraction Of The Cost With One Clever Ordering Trick - Tasting Table

"Order a single taco with a soft tortilla and your fillings of choice on the side. The only thing you can't request on the side is the main meat or veggie filling, but the staff should accommodate everything else. Also ask for a small tortilla on the side, which costs 50 cents at most locations, though some customers have gotten one for 25 cents."

"The price of a Chipotle burrito depends on the location and ingredients, but across the U.S., it generally ranges from $8.75 to $11 (without modifications that cost extra, like a scoop of that famous guac). In contrast, this DIY burrito hack can cost just $3.70 to around $4."

"This Chipotle burrito trick will definitely save you cash overall, but there are two things to consider before trying it. Reason number one is obviously the size downgrade. Secondly, many Chipotle workers have taken to social media to complain about this hack. They point out that unconventional orders are harder for staff to handle and can hold up the line at stores."

Chipotle prices have drawn increasing complaints during the 2020s, prompting customers to seek ordering hacks. A popular money-saving trick involves ordering a single soft taco with fillings on the side, then requesting an additional small tortilla to assemble a DIY burrito. This method reduces costs to approximately $3.70-$4 compared to standard burrito prices of $8.75-$11. However, the hack has drawbacks: the resulting burrito is noticeably smaller, and Chipotle staff have complained on social media that unconventional orders complicate operations and slow service lines. Despite savings, customers may experience disappointment with portion size.
